Just a short post today. While I was hacking away at Minimalog, working out how best to implement emails for blog comments, it occurred to me that this might be a solved problem already. This led me to Disqus.
So, this leads to my question: what do we think of Disqus? In its current state, Minimalog doesn’t use any Javascript or anything that would keep track of users: adding Disqus would add both of these things. Do we think this trade-off is worth it? Disqus seems like it’s pretty lightweight, and would reduce the number of things that Minimalog has to do itself, which is probably for the best.
Let me know. Comment, or send me a tweet, and let me know.
